Publisher's summary

Disturbing the Dead is the latest in a unique series with one foot in the 1860s and the other in the present day. The Rip Through Time crime novels are a genre-blending, atmospheric romp from New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong.

Victorian Scotland is becoming less strange to modern-day homicide detective Mallory Atkinson. Though inhabiting someone else’s body will always be unsettling, even if her employers know that she’s not actually housemaid Catriona Mitchell, ever since the night both of them were attacked in the same dark alley 150 years apart. Mallory likes her job as assistant to undertaker/medical examiner Dr. Duncan Gray, and is developing true friends—and feelings—in this century.

So, understanding the Victorian fascination with death, Mallory isn't that surprised when she and her friends are invited to a mummy unwrapping at the home of Sir Alastair Christie. When their host is missing when it comes time to unwrap the mummy, Gray and Mallory are asked to step in. And upon closer inspection, it’s not a mummy they’ve unwrapped, but a much more modern body.

Critic reviews

"Armstrong’s intriguing and atmospheric time-travel mystery will appeal to readers who enjoy historical detail."–Library Journal (starred review)

“A rip-roaring great read. . . the best time travel tale I’ve read in a long time.”—The Providence Journal

"Armstrong fashions a satisfying narrative out of familiar parts and nails her lead’s cheeky, anachronistic narration. This is winningly silly and satisfying."–Publishers Weekly

Mild and interesting

This is just the escape I need. Complicated enough to be interesting and mild enough to be a peaceful listen. Thank you!

So much fun!

Definitely worth a listen. But listen to the series in order- this is book 3. I’m not usually a time travel reader but these books are well written and the storyline sucks you in !

Fun Time Travel

I love this series! Mallory, Dr. Gray, and crew solve another interesting mystery in Victorian Scotland. This time, the murder and mystery involve a mummy and Egyptology.
Also, this novel continues to explores Mallory’s feelings about where and *when* she belongs!
